It's confirmed. Almost every major liberal publication is reporting that Joe Biden is angry that his approval ratings are abysmal and that he's not being credited for doing a good job. Old man, you need to work at that—and everyone knows you can't do it. You can't do the job. It's more than just shuffling out there and giving a speech. That's not solving a problem. You can't create any more czars, either. Every task force you've created has solved nothing.
It's not the adults who are in charge. It's the mentally challenged—truly.
How could this administration be this incompetent? It knew a baby formula shortage was coming for months, and it did nothing. Biden and his crew thought their party affiliation and the liberal media would make this issue go away. The magic crisis fairies would make everything better. Reality check: it didn't. Suburban mothers can't feed their babies. And when "I don't know" is the position of this White House when it comes to when they figured out, they were heading up s**t's creek. It adds more to the narrative that this guy doesn't get it.
Biden is also mad that people correct him all the time. Sorry, grandpa—those people probably helped stave off World War III with your ridiculous remarks about the Ukraine-Russia war. Your staff must clarify your remarks because they're idiotic, terrible, or outright unintelligible. Some are a Frankenstein creation of all three.
Meanwhile, everyone is getting torched by your Build Back Better agenda. Inflation is high. Gas prices are through the roof. Job growth is anemic. The economy shrank last quarter. We're in a recession. But Biden now thinks that the only way he can fix this is by—get this—getting out in public more. I'm not kidding (via Politico):
The plan is to put Biden on the road to highlight progress being made, even incrementally, in meeting the series of tests, with visits this week to California, where he will preside over a summit of Western Hemisphere allies, as well as New Mexico to push for his climate agenda. The administration will also set aside its reluctance to work with “a pariah” nation with hopes to spur oil production. And it plans to sharpen its attacks on Republicans, aiming to paint the GOP as out-of-touch with mainstream America on issues like gun safety and abortion, all while hoping the upcoming Jan. 6 congressional hearings will further color the party as too extremist and dangerous to return to power.
But first aides need to quell the finger-pointing that’s been erupting internally and the increasing concern over staff shakeups, according to five White House officials and Democrats close to the administration not authorized to publicly discuss internal conversations. They also increasingly are trying to soothe the greatest source of West Wing frustration, coming from behind the Resolute Desk.
The president has expressed exasperation that his poll numbers have sunk below those of Donald Trump, whom Biden routinely refers to in private as “the worst president” in history and an existential threat to the nation’s democracy.
After publication, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said: “This depiction of the White House is simply divorced from reality.”
Far more prone to salty language behind the scenes than popularly known, Biden also recently erupted over being kept out of the loop about the direness of the baby formula shortage that has gripped parts of the country, according to a White House staffer and a Democrat with knowledge of the conversation. He voiced his frustration in a series of phone calls to allies, his complaints triggered by heart-wrenching cable news coverage of young mothers crying in fear that they could not feed their children.
Biden didn’t want to be painted as slow to act on a problem affecting the working-class people with whom he closely identifies. Therefore, when aides convened a meeting with formula company executives, the president — against the advice of staffers — publicly declared it took weeks before details of the shortage had reached him, even though the whistleblower complaint that led to the shutdown of a major production facility was issued months ago. Some aides feared the moment made Biden look out of touch, especially after the CEOs in the very same meeting made clear that warnings of the shortage were known for some time.
Well, Joe—this is your fault. You acted slowly because you are slow. Your mental capacity is shot. You have no idea what's going on, and your staffing does suck. Your approvals are radioactive, so no Democrat really wants you around. You're going to stumble, mumble, and trip over yourself trying to say how great a job you're doing on the road. I mean, I hope he does this as it only increases the GOP's chances of cleaning up during the midterms. This is contingent on them being smart and ending these bipartisan talks on gun control and immigration, of course.
‘One thing’….better to point out ANYTHING that he does understand…
Worth repeating.
The government is malicious and incompetent. A toxic combination. Having a leader with the same qualities is job security. All they have to do is listen to grousing, no real harm done to them.
The one’s directly in Biden’s orbit who don’t like it can find another slot in the government, or take one of the revolving door positions that orbit the feds. There are millions of such jobs.
I’ll add this - a good employee looks out for the boss, and accepts responsibility for shortcomings not in the boss’s control.
This formula shortage is not a POTUS-level issue. Not even close. It should never have gotten this far up the ladder. No red tape needed to be cut, that couldn’t have been cut below.
Only one thing he doesn’t get?
Just one thing?
Reality.
The WH will send Joe out 2 or 3 times. It won’t go well. Joe will get tired an then they’ll take him off the road. The Media will memory-hole the strategy change.
Joe needs to sleep in his native Delaware soil each weekend, so a heavy travel schedule just isn’t sustainable (to borrow the Dems favorite word).
